March for GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!! And DAMN THE GEESE!!

Yesterday I got to school only to discover my normal side street parking was blocked off for giant motor coaches/buses. That's weird. Damn, I guess I have to park over on the metered street which is expensive as shit. Then I see hoards of people everywhere. Young old and everything in between. That's weird. Then I see people carrying signs... signs about saving the baby humans. That's weird. And then it hits me... FML... its March For Life day in DC. Where do I go to school??? Catholic University of America, which happens to be the gathering point for all the marchers before they go off to storm the city. I was dodging 16yr old boys clogging up the sidewalks and acting like typical teenage boy morons... SERIOUSLY?!?!?  Get the hell out of my way, I am paying a shit ton of money for the class I'm trying to walk to that you are about to make me late for. WTF are teenage boys (and kids in general) doing having an opinion about abortion anyway??? Shouldn't your ass be in school? And you have a penis for crying out loud... and if you don't want the silly little girl you are doing inappropriate things with to not get knocked up, then they make these little latex things called condoms, which are cheaper than an abortion. Half the people in my class didn't show up because they were marching... My point is this: CUA, do everyone a favor and just start canceling classes on March day, please.

Random bitching aside, lets get down to business on my fat blog.

On top of yesterday being a giant pain in my ass, the weather sucked balls too... FRIGIDLY cold, frozen fog (yes, I'm totally serious when I say frozen fog... the radio said so too), snow still on the ground... just generally narsty. Have I mentioned how much I dislike winter and its weather? For as disgusting as yesterday was, today was positively beautiful after a foggy start. 50 and sunny. My kind of weather exactly. So, after class (I won't start harping about that right now) I decided to get off my ass and go for a walk. Drove up to the lake and walked the trail... 2.15 miles with some slight up and downhills. Let me just say I hate geese. Do you know what I hate about geese? STEPPING IN THEIR SHIT!!! Damn trails were covered in it. Gross. Dog shit sucks balls too asshole that let his dog crap on the trail and didn't pick it up! That aside it really was a lovely walk. Finished with a nice 351 calories burned! Tomorrow is supposed to be just as nice... thinking about going to the slightly bigger lake for a 2.5 mile walk (and hopefully slightly less goose dump). 

I have been at or slightly under my calorie goals all week without even really trying. Jason on the other hand feels like his stomach is going to explode/implode from hunger. Have I mentioned he was a MASSIVE over eater??? HA HA... sucks for him. I've been telling him for years now to quit eating so damn much. We had homemade nachos for dinner with black beans, olives, tomatoes, and avocado, YUM! Jason still insists my moms are better, how I don't know, they are the same damn thing.

Speaking of my mom and food. While I REALLY appreciate everyones support/encouragement/advice, I have to say I have no intention now, or in the future, of becoming a vegetarian or vegan. I know some people feel it is a healthier lifestyle and they are entitled to their opinion, just as I am entitled to mine. And my opinion is that (while I'm sure it is possible) it is also very difficult for it to be a healthy lifestyle. Meat, particularly chicken and fish are great sources of protein and other vital nutrients. And I have no plans to give them up. Side note: carbs are also an important part of a balanced diet. Carbs from cake=bad. Carbs from whole grains, nuts, and taters=good. Carbs play an extremely important part in maintaining even blood glucose levels and partially controlling some urges to eat/cravings. Carbs are also beyond important when exercising. Limiting carb intake is not a great idea, monitoring carb intake is a great idea and that is what I'm doing. Back to the vegetarian thing again, we discovered back at Thanksgiving that I'm not so much a fan of the fake turkey/field roast thing... and I already know I don't like tofu (its a texture thing) so what the hell am I supposed to eat then? I can't get all my protein from nuts. I like chicken. I like fish. I even like dead cow every now and then. So my house shall continue to be a meat eating and loving house. (No offense to anyone... this is just my choice)

On that note... the hockey game is about to start. GO PENS!!
